A blast from the past. I still remember almost all the words.

San-Zhr Pod Village, by photographer Craig Ferguson, is a project that features images of an abandoned pod development in the small Taiwanese town of San-zhr. These images have a post-apocalyptic flavor that seem like they are right out of a dystopian novel, and as Craig explains, the truth is no less bizarre: “I first heard about this [place] a couple of years ago, but it was only recently that I was able to get out there. The complex was left in its unfinished state because no amount of redevelopment will bring people to the area due to superstitions about ghosts, and it can’t be demolished because destroying the homes of spirits and lost souls is taboo in Asian culture.” We are glad that Craig braved the ominous warnings to produce these incredible images, and we think you will agree.

I love the work of Lucio Santos, on his blog. Below is Santos’ work on a “Cellular House. Lucio “Have you been to Taiwan lately?” I see some inspiration here.
Great design and illustration on a wonderfully simple website.

My daughter and I went to cut down our X-Mas Tree last Saturday. All went well.
On the way back we stopped into a antique center to look around. Nothing too interesting to see. But on the way out the door I noticed a “camera sale”. This is not your everyday camera sale. The story goes that there was a man who owned three camera store in Buffalo, NY from around the 1940 to 1980 when they went out of business. Well the man took all the inventory and stocked it up in his Amherst, NY (Buffalo suburb) basement. Turns out a friend of mine, photographer Rob McElroy is handling the estate auction. The short end of the story is that this sale includes many cameras from the 1970′s and earlier that are new in the box, NEVER OPENED! Go to EBAY soon you can catch some of the minty items that are still up for sale. Like this “1959 LEICA M3 rangefinder camera MINT in BOX never sold!!”
The wonders of being out in the sticks.
Check out these additional photos as well.
